- Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you the sport of skiing: because hurtling down an icy mountain on two planks of wood is totally a rational way to spend a weekend.
English captions are available for those who prefer.
Thanks for watching!

Brilliant. And a good reason to get good enough to go backcountry. Don't forget the avi safety classes and extra gear, not to mention your own food and water. But you get solitude, and I'm not talking about the resort.
True story (unsure if I mentioned this before): back in January when I revisited Winter Park, I got up at 4:15 AM, got on the college ski bus that left at 5:30, got stuck in traffic along the way, and we didn’t get to the resort until 10. Essentially it was a 4.5 hour bus ride, followed by hopping from lift line to lift line the whole day before heading back to campus around 3:30 (the return trip didn’t take as long).
It do be like that
@SRGSkiing is like that not it do be like that...Stop the RAPCRAPPER TALK
6:00am I get om the road to go skiing at 5:15am on peak days....
Some days it just be hard to roll outta bed, y'know? 😂😂
@@SRGSkiing yeah, i feel it
@SRGSkiing no it just is not just be like
Do you mind me inquiring as to how old you are, Mr. Denver outdoorman
Skiing is a lot like Star Wars:
1) It was better back in the old days and
2) No-one hates the process around skiing more than a skiing fan
I am an old guy and they were the good old days of skiing. It used to be a fun activity that poor college students could do. I went to Colorado University in 1969. Week day lift tickets at A-basin, Breck, and Loveland $3.50 for CU students. It was an adventure, and lifts were more primitive, but it was cheap and fun to do. No crowds either. No Eisenhower tunnel, so you had to go over Loveland Pass to get to Breck, Vail, and Copper. The last 20 years of ski-flation has suck the fun out of it.
I hate that we have to jump through loopholes, spend hours trying to find deals, and take time off work to go mid-week to have an enjoyable experience.
Yup way too expensive for lift tickets and lodging
SCUBA Diving is like Skiing, but even more risky. :D
True! Didn't even think of that, despite one of us literally being scuba certified 😂
I totally lost interest in skiing because I felt it was a senseless and cumbersome activity that I did need to put myself through. By the way, SRG, back in the day I thought skiing was pretty much a ripoff because of the reasons you mentioned in your video. Last summer coming home from a trip I made the mistake of coming through the mountains between Leadville and Denver and got stuck in Sunday traffic from Silverthorne to Lakewood for about 4 hours. It used to only take about an hour todo the same thing. That was just weekend traffic on a Sunday in the summer! I’d hate to see the same thing on a Sunday in January or February.
Summer traffic is way worse. Especially when the front range hits 100 degrees. This how it was 20 years ago at least. Moved out long time ago.
I have found that summer traffic is more consistent, but not necessarily longer. Like, ski traffic will only hit from 6-10 and 3-7 on Saturdays and Sundays. Meanwhile, the backups I've experienced over the summer haven't been quite as intense, but they exist at all hours of every day. The construction this year certainly isn't helping I-70 though.
@hughsmith790 Honestly, if you ever get the chance to go skiing on a weekday, I would totally recommend you try it again. There are still deals to be found if you know where to look, and traffic isn't nearly as bad on weekdays. I always hate to hear about anyone who doesn't love skiing anymore, because it still can be great if you work around a few things. But of course, to each his own.
Yup traffic impossible
Grommmmmmm
Never thought I’d see a Mean Girls reference in one of your videos 😂
I hate myself for that 😂
New video series of SRG persona-fying ski areas plz
Sorry, could you explain a little bit more what you have in mind?
@@SRGSkiing Basically how you persona-fied Vail, Alterra, Powdr, & Boyne with Mean Girls characters in this episode, but perhaps taking characters from another popular movie/TV show and using that as a template for comparing resorts in a certain region?
We have a pretty loaded schedule for the next 60-ish weeks, but maybe we'll do more personification in future Hater's Guides
I don't understand why people don't just take their helicopter to the ski resort. That is what I do and it is very convenient. Once at the resort, just check in for your full day private lesson. This is the best way to avoid the long lift lines. 😜
Take me with you 🙏😂
Way too expensive
@@DENVEROUTDOORMAN My comment was intended to be sarcastic which I realize is difficult to mkae clear in short statements like postings, comments, and texts.
Wait why would your professor have killed you for putting a picture of your dif EQ final there?
Leaking test questions, some professors re-use tests and while I don't think my professor is one of those people, you never know 🤷
@@SRGSkiing Ah, gotcha
You're HOW old!?
😂
Skiing is overrated, the real challenge comes sliding on i70.
Is like not be like...that's illiterate RAPCRAPPER Talk
My bad g, slang finna get you pressed, ay?
